Animal no 1 Group-What is the benefit to me .If there is no benefit to me then I am least bothered what is happening in ICAI

Animal No 2 Group – I donot want to listen anything negative about ICAI or CA profession .I will never also discuss anything negative about ICAI or CA profession.Even if I know that something is not going proper within ICAI I will pretend to look the other way and say it is all false and ICAI is the best and they are doing good job.

Animal No 3 Group -They will howl and howl but they donot have the guts to fight and take ICAI to Court or use their influences to put pressure on ICAI from Ministry to find out what is going on.Their attitude is play safe donot get involved but howl and howl.

This is the reality of this profession and most of them will all come together to cover up rather than doing any benefit to the profession.

the disclosure is incomplete and provides no clue of what is the ultimate benefit to the profession out of this huge investment. what is the cost benefit analysis. what is the gain to the profession by invetsting almost 100 crores in nagpur – residential township housing almost 500 occupants, apart from VIP occupants – parking facility of over 400 vehicles – what is ICAI creating – township or a professional centre??. Who are the residents of this ‘fully intergrated township’?? Maintenance for 10 years by vendor ?? Amazing Deal – Residents dont pay even maintenance for 10 years !!! ICAI has promised 10 more such centres – rs.1000 crores approx- what is happening in ICAI – ICAI is not able to influence a simple service tax levy on chartred accountants with the Govt, which their big brothers – advocates enjoy, not able to influence any great taxreforms – direct or indirect taxes.
